I've known too many people with huge amounts of experience (and in
several cases huge wealth from their successes) whose knowledge was
significantly inferior to people far below them in experience and
success (and sometimes the less successful people even worked in the
same company!).
NB: This may be too much influenced by my background in large coporates;
perhaps I'm too cynical. However, I've been BS'd by some people you
would have thought (from reading a CV) you could trust, but I just
happened to be very experienced in the same field (through random
chance; given my career and degree you wouldn't have expected it) and
was able to call them out on it.
My day job includes cutting through a lot of BS, and I'm English.
Cynicism is a way of life ;).
